Shearing Days at Prospect Park Zoo
It’s been a Yarn Tree weekend! I volunteered for The Yarn Tree to help do demonstrations for Shearing Days at the Prospect Park Zoo. We lucked out and got a gorgeous day for it so we were busy all day.
Shannon, Sasha and I showed kiddies how to make felted wool balls -
There was also weaving, spinning, finger crochet and knitting and Kool-Aid dying.
And the most exciting event of the day - the shearing!
This is Wallace before -
Here is Wallace after . . . I love his little shock of hair over his forehead - sweet!
And here is Wallace’s 10 lbs. of fleece . . . . I wonder how many skeins we could get out of that?

Wow! I didn’t know they sheared sheep in NYC. I saw a sheep shearing in Perry, Kansas, but it was at a farm.
They do have everything in New York City!
